There is not one single time where nostr:npub12aqfngts2xc0z0n47lyfx03p8prhz4kqcel29mukgwydeuatawqqg5dvgy makes an accurate comment about Wasabi. This is not by mistake --otherwise, he would occasionally say something correct even if just by pure chance.
**First**: I removed the coordination fee not because a lawyer said so, it was because that's the right thing to do and because that is what I always wanted to do. Having a mechanism to take users' money is wrong. What prevent Ashigaru's Whirlpool coordinator from taking your money? Nothing. The coordinator is the one that tells the client how much it must pay for the service and the client doesn't make even a single check to see whether that is reasonable or not. If you trust anonymous random coordinators so so much to allow them to run with your money then okay, you are a fucking moron. Even in Wasabi where there were many mechanisms to prevent such a thing there was a coordinator that was able to exploting the coordination fee crap to take users money but that's over.
**Second**: In Wasabi it doesn't matter how many coins you have because it is not possible to "fill" the coinjoin round simply because there is not a limit. In case the number of coins registered in a round reaches the maximum allowed, the round is distroyed and two new rounds are created, the process repeats again and again. Finally, in the worst case, if lets say only 10 users are in a round with 10 coins each and you enter to that round with 500 coins, the maximum damage that you can do it to create the illusion of a higher anonymity set in the other participants' wallets but you cannot deanonimize them and that won't be for free either.
**Third**: About sybil attacks too, the whirlpool implementation is by far the easiert to sybil attack by the coordinator and it is almost for free because a coordinator can register 4 coins of its own, but you know what? That doesn't matter because there are endless ways in which the Whirlpool coordinator can deanonimize users.
**Fourth**: Calling the coordination fee "anti-sybil fee" is a good joke, it is not that they want your money, it is that the only way for you to be safe is by giving them money otherwise someone could deanonymize you!
**Fifth**: Wasabi coordinators don't have liquidity!? Are you fucking keeding me? In this month there were 30,710.36 BTC with 5,155.89 BTC Fresh Inputs according to http://liquisabi.com/
**Sixth**: Wasabi coinjoins almost never creates change (traceable outputs) while Whirlpool always creates traceable change.
Ok, I stop listening here because I don't want to continue suffering this torture.
